Communicating with the Professor:     One of the features of distance education is that you are never required to meet face to face with the professor. However, if you want to stop by for a visit my office is at Queensborough Community College in Bayside NY in the Medical Arts Building, Room 403 and my hours will be available through the course materials (see Course Information Documents) During the Pandemic you can reach me for a personal matter by:

1.      for a personal matter Sending me an email to ppecorino@qcc.cuny.edu

2.      for a personal matter Calling my office phone:  Monday to Thursday 9am to 12 noon  1-718-281-5038

3.      for a class matter Post in the BB Discussion Forum titled “Questions and Suggestions for the Professor”

4.      for a class matter I shall also have VIDEO OFFICE HOURS for the class at times I shall announce.  They will be INSIDE the Class Site using Blackboard Collaborate or ZOOM.
